After 15 years of working in the classical Oenology field and in other areas of the food industry and tired of making "coca-cola" wines, André Duque Lourenço decided to go ahead with a personal project. He had always wanted: to make wine in the Beira Baixa region. And so Gardunha Sul was born!
After 15 years of working in the classical Oenology field and in other areas of the food industry and tired of making "coca-cola" wines, André Duque Lourenço decided to go ahead with a personal project. He had always wanted: to make wine in the Beira Baixa region. And so Gardunha Sul was born!
The basic idea behind Gardanha Sul is to make honest, uncomplicated wines, letting the grapes and the vineyard from which they originate be the stars. The focus will always be the same: minimum intervention in the vineyard and the winery, without additions of any kind, letting the grapes shine at their full potential.
Another of the pillars is to locate, collect and reproduce old, almost forgotten, local and regional varieties - it doesn't matter quantity but quality, typicity and identity. They believe that only in this way will they have unique wines.
The winery's location allows there to be a combination of grapes from the south side of Gardunha, with better maturation due to the hot and dry climate and grapes from the north side of Gardunha, where maturity is later. The result is more elegant grapes, less alcohol and more natural acidity. This combination will create the perfect balance that only this region allows.
There are intense floral and citrus fruit aromas, typical of the grape varieties. The palate is dry, medium-bodied, with some rounded tannins, dominated by primary floral and fruity notes, and with a marked acidity.
Aromas of orange peel, with a subtle spicy, vegetal character and notes of dried fruit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with refined acidity. Delicate flavours of ripe fruit and nuts lead to a fresh, dry, and lingering finish.
The aroma is dominated by floral notes of rose alongside fruity hints of cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spice and a touch of oak. On the palate, it is dry and medium-bodied, with noticeable tannins, floral and spicy nuances, balanced medium acidity, and a moderately long finish.
The aroma reveals white stone fruit, citrus fruit and pine sap as a vegetal component. On the palate, it has an elegant body, with present acidity and delicate aromas of citrus fruit and a vegetal component, with a medium, fresh finish.
